BENGALURU: Flexible office operator 315 Work Avenue plans to beef up its portfolio to 1 million sq ft by the end of 2020 with a focus on south and west India.
In a bid to achieve its target of 25,000 seats by next year with an investment of Rs 100 crore, the company plans to expand in Hyderabad, Pune and Mumbai while strengthening presence in Bengaluru. 315Work Avenue currently manages 10,000 seats spread over 500,000 sq ft office space across multiple prime locations in Bengaluru and around 4000 seats are in fit-out stages.
In a recent lease transaction, 315Work Avenue, a leading co-working space provider, leased 500-seat workspace at GR Tech Park in Whitefield, Bengaluru. This new workspace, spread over 50,000 sq ft, has been leased to a leading listed global outsourcing services provider and a data research and solutions MNC. “We believe there is a massive opportunity as co-working spaces are experiencing a high growth trajectory in India and Bengaluru has been an extremely strong market for us to strengthen our footprint and cater to large enterprises, corporates and start-ups amongst others. We are also open to acquire smaller players in strategic pockets in tier one cities for further expansion,” said Manas Mehrotra, chairman, 315Work Avenue. 315Work Avenue currently manages around 10,000 seats spread over 5,00,000 sq ft office space across multiple prime locations in Bengaluru and around 4000 seats are in fit-out stages.
